A Visit to Frank Clegg Leatherworks

In November I had the opportunity to meet with Frank, Ian, and Andrew Clegg of Frank Clegg Leatherworks for a candid conversation about their business. In 40 years of making the highest quality leather goods around, they've gone through good times and bad and seen the industry change several times over. Frank also gives us the history behind several of his favorite bags!

I bought a Frank Clegg briefcase last year, and it’s phenomenal. I use it every day so it’s just starting to develop that nice patina. For me, it’s the perfect match between American and European styling. Sometimes American designs can be a little clunky, but then European designers such as Berlutti can be a little too fashion oriented and not as practical. I think Frank Clegg gets the mix between style and function absolutely perfect. They’re expensive products, but they’re fantastic value. I’m planning on adding a signature duffle next year.

Love how they were made to carry logs! I need a bag to be robust - everyday - rough and tough and still look amazing! I want one of these bags

Such a good story teller, I can feel his passion.

I have had my Frank Clegg bag for over one year now and it is starting to build a beautiful patina! I ended up a few months back buying my dad a Frank Clegg wallet and it is stunning! The quality is world class but you already know that. Also, Frank is a great guy who really cares about his customers as well. Once again great video!

As a recent subscriber to your channel, I have started watching all your earlier uploads to fill the void as I wait for new content. The contrast from earlier production values and your current stuff has improved dramatically. Your style advice and product reviews from a working mans perspective really resonate with me.
Congratulations on your channel.

Really great company. I've known about them for quite some time. One of them products that you buy once and never buy again, so long you condition and care for it :)

Just purchased my first bag from Frank Clegg, the Signature Duffle Bag in Chocolate Chevre. Ton of money, however ZERO regrets! Was looking at Louis Vutton, though their quality is minimal compared to this beauty. Very grateful to own this work of art from a true American craftsman.

Great video. In September I got the signature travel duffle and it’s an amazing weekender bag / a little heavy because of the thick leather but the quality is spot on. I personally went with this company because I wanted something unique and handmade and being a part of a family business myself I also wanted to support these companies. If we the customers don’t - these companies are not going to be around much longer. So today I prefer to find quality products from small companies who still focus on the best quality and that’s what Frank Clegg does. The only thing I miss in their product line is a Garment bag in the same leather so I can carry a suit and some dress shirts on short trips.... -:)

Great video as always Carl. So much detail into it. Bro, you should be at 100K now with all the work you put in. 🔥

Loving the stories of how the bags were designed and named. Those are lovely bags. Definitely will buy one in the future.

Loved watching this video.  I bought a Frank Clegg briefcase at the beginning of this year, and I have not regretted it.  In fact, I now find it a necessity to take with me when I go places.You really can see the workmanship that goes into these products.

Really enjoyed this one, particularly the story of the fire wood duffle. Unfortunate that this video it isn't more popular.

[jonathanbellows]

As a young professional I went with the Buffalo Jackson bison messenger bag and travel tote but one day I will own a set of these

[clint]

Informative and fun video. Hard to believe making videos like this isn’t even your main/only occupation carl!

[MNLTMusic]

I’m still waiting patiently on that moc toe boot review from brands like redwing, Wolverine, thorogood, etc.

Ps: Thursday boots added the diplomat, which is their take on the moc toe. And it looks exactly like red wing’s but it’s half the price

Kid knows quality leather goods, wearing a pair of Nick's. Thanks for the awesome video Carl.

[FitManStyle]

Haven't heard of this company but it's one I'd keep on my radar. Love the story telling documentary style format you got going.
